A few points here to take not of UnionJack says the NDP lost credibility when they teamed up
with the unions. Well two points here the unions gravitated to the NDP like the Tories did to
the Chamber of Commerce and the Fraser Institute. It should be remembered when the unions
and the CCF now the NDP teamed up, they were different entities then. The unions actually
cared about the working guy, now they care about themselves. The NDP was about social
justice for working people, small business and the farm community.
This is where Colpy states they abandoned their rural roots and that is true to a large extent.
Carol still has a large following, the problem is the caucus of the NDP is trying to run the show,
and that flies in the face of the Parties Provincial Council. I am remembering this stuff from my
old days as a media person in news, and I find when the caucus tries to run the party all hell
breaks loose.
I think Harry Lali will run for the leadership, as will Adrian Dix, and Mike Farnworth, there may be
a few others but those three would be leaders in my book. It is very hard to have been the leader
and try to come back in a leadership race. The reason Carol had that kind of approval rating is
there was no leadership race and the NDP does one thing better than most, when there is some
kind of distraction they opt for solidarity. When the distraction becomes a division, there is an all
out scrap for the leadership. Any bet the support for Carol comes from riding's with a heavy
women's support group?
The fight is on and Carol like Gordon are names from the past already the world of politics has
now moved on that the train has left for these two.

Yep, the Unions were excellent in their day when sweat lords had 12 year old boys working 16 hours a day in the coal mines for $1 a week, but now they are there for themselves and the drones, parasites and sh*t disturbers.

But they are the wrong sex to be eligible to be leader in a party that is more concerned with being PC than getting the best possible leader.
Unless you think that slimy Shota will abandon his hundred grand a year job.

Moe will not abandoned his position the party will take care of that themselves.
The party is going through a substantial change, and this is the wrong time to
being doing that. They need a leader, and they need one by May 1st if they
want a chance to win, the 18 month window will be in full swing for both parties
and most of us know about the 18 month window, it is the golden rule when it
comes to elections.

"Slimy Sihota"- I love it. It was always a toss up with me as to who is the lowest life form- lawyer or politician, but there's not much doubt when the guy is both. :lol:

Moe Sihota has to be one of the most useless pieces of political trash BC as known. He and that red-headed thing in the downtown eastside take the prize.

Moe ****hola, yes standing up for public education all the while his children were being educated at an exclusive west side private school.
Another pig at the trough telling us do as I say not as I do.
He is entitled to his entitlements and won't let them go.

Yeah, that was one thing but what I'm thinking of was more criminal in nature...........it may have been something that came about as a result of or at the time of his father's demise.
